A Silver Hanukkah Lamp Menorah, Nuremberg, Germany, 1799 - 1803

About the Item

Incredible Chanukiyah, exceptionally rare! Handcrafted silver with a brass plate engraved with the hadlakah blessings. Stamped silver, Nuremberg 1799/1803, Maker: Johann Friedrich Wilhelm Kramer. On the back of the menorah, in the center, is a handsome "window" with artistic embellishments around it. On either side of the window are pillars topped by an arch with a bouquet of flowers between the pillars. Above the arch is a pitcher with handles. Behind the back are silver clips upon which rests an antique brass plate etched with the kindling blessings "Asher kidshanu bemitzvosav vetzivanu lehadlik ner shel Chanukah" and the blessing of "She'asah nisim la'avoseinu." (The blessing of Shehecheyanu does not appear.) Under the oil cups are two hinges with a tray to catch oil drips. The tray pulls out with a handle. The tray, too, bears the aforementioned marks. The elongated oil cups were crafted with hammerwork. There is a small silver strip on each one. The strips are hand-cut. On either side are pillars topped with a lion. The right lion is holding the shamash in one of its paws (it pulls out with a handle). On the upper portion of the plate there is an engraving of a pitcher with handles, topped by a handsome embellishment. On the back of the wall, near the bottom, is the artist's mark plus the Nuremberg mark and the period mark. There is also a signature at the bottom of both pillars, as well as additional signatures on the pull-out tray. This Chanukah lamp is unquestionably very rare, of a unique style produced by an artist who invested lots of effort in it. It has all its parts and is in perfect condition. Museum-worthy, very rare. The artist, Johann Friedrich Wilhelm Kramer worked from 1781 - 1830 in Nuremberg, Germany. Based on the signatures on this menorah, it was produced between 1799 and 1803. Weight including copper plate: 960 gram. Without the plate: 795 grams. Maximum Height: 28. Length 26. Depth: 8.5

A Silver Hanukkah Lamp , Germany Circa 1930

Located in New York, NY

A Unique Silver Arts and Crafts Hanukkah Lamp, made in Germany Circa 1930. This Hanukkah Lamp is truly unique and has a few different styles of craftmanship and designs that make up its structure. Seemingly this menorah looks to be made for children. The shaft and the base are remarkably executed. the light hammering on the base referenced the Arts and Crafts movement while the shaft is designed in an Art Deco fashion. However, the cut-out pattern of the palm leaves and the engraved Stars of David are of a lower standard; the engraving in particular is sloppy and crude. Yet the cups and the finial and the small bells at the end of the leaves are well done- the balls cite the influence of the Secession, yet another art trend. Whatever may be for the apparent contradiction in the quality of workmanship, this is an interesting Rarity. Hallmarked and signed at the bottom of the hammered base.
